About product

The ZiL-131 wheel set with M-93 tires in 1:72 scale from Armory

An add-on wheel set in 1:72 scale for a model of the Soviet ZiL-131 truck, fitted with tires of the M-93 type. This is not a vehicle kit and not a model: these are replacement wheels that take the place of the wheels from the base kit. The Ukrainian brand Armory specializes in cast wheel sets for Soviet equipment and makes them for aircraft as well as for trucks.

Use

  • Replacing the wheels of the base ZiL-131 kit in 1:72 scale
  • Replacing soft vinyl tires, on which paint holds badly
  • Bringing out the tread pattern, which tends to be flatter on the parts from the kit
  • Repairing a model with a damaged or missing wheel

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to push the detail of a truck in a small scale where it is most in view. The wheels of a truck are large and prominent, so a sharper tread pattern and a cleaner rim change the look of the whole model more than photo-etched details do. Working with cast parts does assume a little practice, however: before gluing, the parts have to be washed free of mold release agent, the casting blocks cut away and the seating face flattened. The wheels are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), because cement for plastic will not bond a casting.

Safety and cautions

When sanding castings, protect your breathing and work with extraction or wet; the dust from cast materials should not be inhaled. Keep the remains after cutting out of the reach of children. Whether the set fits a particular kit can be checked against the dimension of the axle and the wheel pin on the box and on the parts themselves.

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. It is an add-on wheel set that replaces the wheels from the base kit. The vehicle kit itself is not included in the package.

A type of truck tire of size 12.00-20, which matches the fitment of the ZiL-131. The ZiL-131 truck ran on single wheels of this size on all three axles.

With cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Cement for plastic will not bond a casting. Wash the parts free of mold release agent first and cut away the casting blocks so that the wheel seats on the axle.

That can be checked against the dimension of the axle and the wheel pin. Wheel sets are made for a particular model of vehicle, and without a dry test fit a fit cannot be promised in advance.
